Crowns

Over time, our teeth begin to weaken and become more susceptible to problems such as decay, cracks, discolouration and wear. If you feel that your smile isn’t what it once was, crowns can help you recover your smile. If your dentist notices that a tooth is decayed or seems weakened/cracked, a crown may be necessary to make sure that there are no additional problems with the tooth. In cases like this, a filling or bonding will not be sufficient. Crowns can be made from porcelain, porcelain fused to metal, zirconia, or a full gold crown. A consultation with the dentist is the first step to determine what would be the best option for your particular needs.

The process of a crown takes two visits to the dentist. On the first visit, the tooth will be reshaped by filing down the enamel so that the crown can be placed over it. You will be given a local anesthetic so that you do not experience any discomfort. Sometimes, if the tooth was broken or the inside of the tooth was compromised, a new filing will be put in to ensure a solid foundation for the crown to sit on. This is called a build up. Once the tooth has been reshaped, an impression will be taken of that tooth and surrounding teeth. This impression will be sent to a dental lab so that your new custom crown can be made. Before leaving the dental office, we will fit you with a temporary crown until your permanent crown is ready.

The crown takes one week to be returned to your dentist. At this time, you will have another appointment to place and fit the permanent crown. You will again have local anesthetic to numb the area, and the crown will be placed using a cement to ensure that it sets in place. When you look in the mirror, you will see your old smile back. Crowns are durable and will usually last about 10-15 years. You should care for it as you would for your other teeth with regular brushing and flossing.

Nice service...the staff are courteous...very professional and educative....
I had to get my retainer fixed and was worried of the cost as i didn’t have insurance, however ,they charged well below estimate...(even waived off some charge)...!
Highly recommended with five stars in competency, professionalism, courteousness, ambience and value for money..!!

My wife had a great experience here when she went in. The staff is friendly, explains everything they're doing as they do it, and clearly care about patient comfort and satisfaction. They went out of their way to get her old X-rays from another dentist, which saved us money and time. This office is a real hidden gem in the city of Surrey and we'd recommend it to families and friends.

Of all the dental offices and dentists I've visited in my life, none have surpassed my wonderful experiences here. Dr. Thakore, the hygienists and the staff are all thorough, friendly and communicative. Being able to compare identical treatments here versus elsewhere, I can confidently say that Dr. Thakore is the best dentist I've had the pleasure of meeting, and by a wide margin too.

Surrey Place Dental Group is by far THE BEST dental office I have EVER been to! From the warm greetings at the front desk to the ultra professionalism of both Dr Islur and Dr Maru made my dental experience a complete pleasure. I informed Dr Islur on my first visit that I would rather fight a bear than sit in a denstist chair. He walked me through the whole process and now I have no fear of the dentist at all. I wish I could still have this as my dental office, unfortunately I moved to AB.
I would highly recommend this dental office for all your dental needs.
